I agree. I think a good way to solve this problem would be to move the ADC + circuitry to the induction clamp itself; then daisy chain the units together via some bus protocol. It's would allow customers to go from 0-X in terms of logged channels. As well as reduce the size of the sending unit considerably.
If you're connected to a random network, whose configuration you don't know in advance, how do you route packets to your VPN server?

The usual answer is that the network's router tells you how to do that, by supplying DHCP options.

The point I'm making here is that you can't just configure a firewall rule and have it work properly. What actually needs to happen is that the VPN client software is using one routing table - let's call it "host routing" - and everything else on the system is using a second routing table - let's call that "VPN routing".

The DHCP server inserts rules into the host routing table, and the only software using those rules is the VPN client for its management and tunnel traffic.

Otherwise, what if the network to which you connect says "the next hop for all internet traffic is 10.10.10.10"? You need to respect that rule when sending traffic to your VPN server, and ignore it for applications whose traffic will be tunneled.
My brother was a veterinarian who bought an existing clinic in 2008. As I recall it was close to a million dollars before the cost of the building. There was another 2–300K in capital costs for modernizing the clinic.

So, yes, it can cost a lot to start a vet clinic.

Many younger vets will do housecall practices, which do have lower startup costs, but it’s necessary to have a good relationship with a practice with a hospital for any procedures which need to be done and, given that they’re nominally in competition with those practices, this may not be the easiest thing to do (before buying the hospital, my brother did housecall work, but mostly outside the service area of the hospital that he used for his procedures. He also was their on-call fill-in vet for when the in-practice vets were on vacation or out sick).

There was a kind of standard progression in veterinary careers where owning or being a partner in a practice with a hospital/clinic was the end stop of the career, but remember that a practice run by PE has different goals than a practice run by a vet. The vet-owner is looking to have junior vets who will one day buy them out and finance their retirement. Very different from a PE-owner looking to maximize cashflow and profitability with little concern about the vets working at the practice who are viewed as fungible widgets.
There is nothing sensationalist. The flight was scrubbed. The headline didn't make any mention of the reason, the fact is literally, the flight attempt was a scrub.
I think this should be replicated per-project.

The ability to switch to a project, and see all my notes, documents, apps for only that project. In a way that doesn't collide/interfere.

maybe have ~/Desktop/project1, and all apps use that to store settings, notes, etc.

could be a group of desktops for a project.

maybe like virtual desktops for a project in columns, but each row is a different a separate project.

The idea would be close to macos with fast user switching, but one user per project.
Genuinely progressive taxation would aim to reduce the tax burden on small independent and non-profit vet practices, and increase it dramatically on the profits the big PE firms are taking.
The C runtime doesn't really show up on a profiler though. It's crawl the init_array then jump to main. Small enough that a lot of people don't notice the C runtime exists at all. Compiling C to efficient machine code is a much easier problem than compiling Go to similar machine code since all the heavy lifting is done by the programmer.
While an IP address is not an identity, it can still zero in on a location. I suspect governments and ISPs all keep historical logs of who was assigned what address.

The Google seems to put that at the high end estimate. A vet clinic is still, even so, orders of magnitude cheaper to start than a hospital, and veterinarians don’t make orders of magnitude less than doctors.

I expect that PE won’t be able to push it too far before vets just start their own practices much like doctors are doing.
Outsiders don't see what happens inside companies.

A solution may need to integrate with in-house frameworks and billing (and you'll die trying to make billing simple).

A feature may get added for a big customer, and be warped by their requirements.

A feature may need to be implemented in a hurry (taking on tech debt) to win a bid/contract.

Conway's law shapes implementations - the right team to implement a thing simply may be busy with something more important, so another team will need to work around them.

In such situations the obvious simplest solution may not be available, and you either do what you can given the constraints, or fail to meet business' requirements.

The hospital system near my hometown just announced they are filing for bankruptcy. The parent company that bought it, which itself is owned by private equity, extracted nearly a billion dollars in profit from hospitals before going bankrupt, according to local reporting. I don’t know what the solution is, but PE is a parasitic blight on society.
Non-competes aren’t that simple, and in that very article it says they were forced to abandon it.

There aren’t any vets because there aren’t enough vet schools.

Advertising-supported nerds using the media to attack each other. The person making this coment about "BS jobs" is the one who started EasyDNS and OpenDNS and tried to compete with the pre-Chrome "Google toolbar" and later Chrome and eventually the "omnibox" for the privilege of injecting ads into the "user experience", and/or collecting data to support ad services. Google, with its control over being "default search engine", through any means possible (e.g., bribe/payola, etc.), felt threatened by OpenDNS and claimed OpenDNS was "intercepting Google queries" (because users involuntarily "chose" to send them to Google?) This is what lead to "Google Public DNS". It's another case of two companies fighting over who gets to annoy computer users with ads. Two companies that wanted to hijack NXDOMAIN for profit. Verisign had earlier tried it at the registry level.

Thought experiment: What if all "jobs" that aim to annoy computer users with ads, and provide "services" to do that, are BS. What if VC that fund these surveillance companies are BS, too. What does the computer user not funded by advertising and doing real work think of Google staff.

My vet got bought by private equity and it's turned to absolute shit. Now they basically won't approve any outside prescriptions. Have to buy heart worm, tick pills, etc through them. They are around 2.5x the cost of online pet pharmacies like chewy and allivet. They say they approve all outside vendors, but always twist it into buying from them or setting up an appointment to verify a bunch of stuff to get the approval.
Ask HN: Starting C++ in 2024, what to know?
Before I get too deep, I know a bit of Rust. It’s a nice language with a nice ecosystem. My interests are around learning C++ to create fun things as a hobby. What are some things I should definitely learn and use in 2024 w.r.t C++?

I haven’t used C++ since university 7 or so years ago, but I’ve done a tiny bit of C.

My reasoning is my work uses a ton of C++, a lot of legacy things I’m interested in reading and understanding are written in C++ and because I want to.

Open to recommendations around books, tooling and resources.
I agree.

I liked some things that looked more physical/tactile.

To be clear, I don't care if my calculator looks like a desk calculator as much as if clickable buttons show they are clickable. Underlining a link might be inelegant, but it is also functional and immediately knowable.

Eventually, though, you’ll have to follow the lead of Duke and Debbi when you get sushi.

I'm not trying to make a political statement. But in my experience, we need to elect the right leaders to ensure we can try to minimize corruption through lobbyists and government officials to get regulation right. And also hold corrupted officials responsible. It's not gonna solve everything, but it does help.

This isn't capitalism. It's corporatism. The only reason this works is because of unnecessary regulation and red tape created by governments that enables regulatory capture by well-funded operators. A true free market would see these sort of operators outcompeted in 5 minutes.
Not to mention the government regulations of vet training which keeps vet worker supply low.
Many of your points are not capitalism so this is not capitalism working as intended.
Eh, even Agda is only safe in the sense of 'does what you've proven it to do'. That doesn't mean that if you eg write a machine learning library in Agda, your AI won't come and turn us all into paperclips.

So it doesn't really make sense to pretend there's some single meaning of 'safe' vs 'unsafe' that's appropriate in all contexts.
The P/E orgs are generally working within the confines of all federal and local laws, they never had to lobby or corrupt anything. It's more of a wide open exploit.
From my experience every management leader has a (usually multiple) "OKR" or "quarterly goals" that sometimes are just a straw grab or items passed down from someone else. "Who can we give the migration project that has been in the works for 3yrs now?... Just give it to Tammy and her team she only has 3 current projects and the rest of the leaders all have 5!"

And so Tammy's team now has to do this "important" migration project which is low priority and typically busy work. BUT the company is reeeeally counting on tammy and her team to deliver!

Majority of the time there are real projects the company cares about but they only account for a small majority of the "resources". So the non important projects are still under OKRs and hyped up to the actual engineering teams as being important but in reality its just a check mark for end of year performance reviews.

I was an engineer doing this "fake work" for a while and it can be soul draining pushing a stone up a mountain and everyone on the team realizing it...

For sure innovation can happen where fake work gets eliminated but typically you have to back those initiatives around dollar values and convince the upper execs that it'll be profitable which is tough and why most managers accept whatever goals/projects land their way, thus churning the fake work machine
My late father (small animal vet) got approached by VCA and Banfield multiple times to sell out, but he was pretty sure he wouldn't make the same amount and he liked having his own full scope practice. He was the minority even then.

How much of the toxic private equity firms and investors are outside the US?

I'm thinking, considering how destructive private equity is to US institutions, non-US involvement could help it be seen as a national security issue.
It's definitely accurate to the facts, but twisted to try and paint a certain narrative given the current trends. Technically correct, the best kind of correct.

The headline could be an infinite number of ways more descriptive instead of riding on the coattails of the Boeing bash bandwagon:

etc.

Lots of interesting suggestions/applications in response to my initial comment.

yes, but fair use should let you do it.

maybe the same thing happens with audio, but there's no drm knowledge/support so they didn't implement any of it.

And what would stop a bad actor from putting in a bunch of randomly generated emails into such a form to DDOS the site?

And what would prevent the form spam being seen as spam by email clients causing real (and arguably more important) messages from also being thrown out and automatically deleted with the rest of the spam?
Yes, also TriMap does quite well. PacMAP is faster though. This paper [1] (linked at the GitHub repo you have mentioned) goes into a fantastic amount of detail in comparing UMAP, t-sne, PacMAP and TriMAP.

> dollar value is the only one that matters, because it's common comparison base of everything.

Doesn't this only work if there's consensus on these dollar values? So first of all, weird anarchists like me are a lost cause, because we refuse to participate in measuring human lives in dollars. You might then argue that's fine, normal people like yourself will continue to measure things in dollars, however I'd point out, that even normal people like yourself fail to achieve consensus on dollar values for things like risks, lives, etc. From where I stand, it all looks very arbitrary, and completely detached from any kind of reality.

For example, real estate. Many would say the market finds the "real value" of a house. It's so expensive right now, because we don't have that many houses to live in. Right? Yet rent is rising higher against salaries year on year: https://ipropertymanagement.com/research/average-rent-by-yea... despite vacancies seeming to never move below 4% and above 7% https://en.macromicro.me/charts/22864/us-house-vacancy . And now we find out some of the reasons for that are collusion among landlords and agencies: https://www.propublica.org/article/yieldstar-rent-increase-r... (reported on as early as 2022).

So if you normal folks can't even decide on the value of the house (or stock, or NFT, or pokemon card), or can simply manipulate this value, why should it be believed when you claim to have figured out the value of a human life? Especially because none of these measurements take into considerations things that actually matter for humans, e.g., that housing is necessary for a reasonably comfortable life and should simply be guaranteed in a society this wealthy?
Tensions Rise in Silicon Valley over Sales of Startup Stocks
I agree that it'd be much more useful if people did that.

Without that information, I assume that the books that are mentioned more than once are the ones that I should look into.
In Brazil this is likely the most common scam nowadays. Almost every month one of the 4 members of my family gets a message in WhatsApp, usually from a cloned profiled, with the same script:

"Hi <brother|sister|dad>! I'm trying to buy something in store X but my card is getting declined, can you make a PIX (Brazil's real time rail payment) for <random person> for YYYYY (4, 5 digits amount) reais for me? I'll pay you tomorrow"

Or the out of fashion "This is X and I have your daughter, pay X so we can release her".

I have never understood how those people can do this for that long with the amount of tracing and spying the government has. Specially using payments from the Real Time Reail (PIX) that is tied to a CPF (equivalent to SIN/SSN).

Even in the current state of streaming, with sports spread between several providers, you can get, in good faith, in YouTube watching a pirated live stream of a major competition where the broadcaster fakes a famous bank or financial institution pretending to make lottery and faking draws on screen. It is so rudimentary you can see the person literally typing random names.

This is probably one of the easiest crimes to automate enforcement against in the age of AI, and yet, it happens for months, every day.

Good for Spain for actually doing something about it. I wish Brazil would start doing the same.
Good thing non-competes are now illegal.

Farm states push back on Biden's bird flu response
My dad did a short stint in memory care before he passed (86 years old). He had Alzheimer’s caused dementia. I was surprised by how many younger (60s+) people than him that there were in his facility.

Without having much experience with early onset Alzheimer’s, I had always assumed that healthcare keeping people alive longer allowing people to live long enough to develop it was the reason it seemed to be more and more prevalent.

All I guess I really know for sure is that it’s a horrible fucking disease.

That seems like a really awkward amount of gold to measure out. It's too small to be easy to do in bulk, but it's about a quadrillion atoms, so you wouldn't want to push them around a few at a time.

It's not a free market. Capitalism is about capital accumulation, not fair markets in some sense.
Funnily enough, heavily regulated industries are where PE and large conglomerates shines because they can centralize dealing with all the regulations and paper work. No private vet or dentist is gonna have a legal or accounting department to deal with that, nor do they want to deal with it themselves. It’s easier to outsource that to the major conglomerate that’s handling that for everyone else in the state or country.
Clearly then, the legislators should restrict road usage to emergency vehicles only, and in order to allow other people to get to work, set up a cheap bussing system. This would be the most cost effective way to save the most amount of lives, letting you write off transport and focus on funding cancer research.

So why don't they do that?
Near the end of Dennett's essay, this is exactly the story I was thinking of.
Just a spot check - but a DVM at the University of Florida (the first vet school that popped into my head) is $30k/year for tuition and books. At 4 years, that's a $120k degree - but from my understanding, starting a vet practice is over a $1MM, so it's safe to assume buying an existing vet practice is at least $1MM, and I don't think $120k in debt would be THE limiting factor for buying a $1MM+ practice. (and that's assuming a recent DVM vet buying the practice, not a 10+ year experienced vet that's probably already paid off their student loads)

Tools are created to reduce the amount of time one spends on a task. The greater the ratio between benefit and effort the better a tool is. If a tool requires the "barest minimum of effort" to be moderately useful, it is an amazing tool because that ratio is high. A tool that requires high effort for high benefit isn't.

That being said, people will voluntarily learn new features if it creates tangible benefits for them. But the learning curve can't be too steep—it has to be intuitive on top of what they already know with consistently increasing rewards.
